In Conan, people have a brain option system

The door to the interrogation room was opened again.

Koichi Nishihara saw the young detective he had just met walking in together with another detective who looked to be about forty years old.

The older detective had a rather hideous scar around his right eye.

Originally, people with such scars would give people a rather fierce impression.

But Koichi Nishihara discovered unexpectedly.

The detective in front of him looked much kinder than the young detective he had seen before.

Koichi Nishihara saw the older detective sitting down opposite him.

At the same time, he took out the police manual, opened the side with the photo and put it in front of him.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Toda Kyouji. I am the second-in-command of the Criminal Investigation Section 3 of the 1st Division. I am this guy's boss."

Kyouji Toda pointed at Takuto Nakajima behind him and introduced himself.

"I am not in charge of this case of the Imperial Theater, so the specific situation is not clear yet."

Toda Kyouji whispered, then took the record of this case and read it in front of Nishihara Koichi.

"Let me see, let me see."

"At 3:24 pm on February 11, a deceased male and an unconscious male were found in the laundry room of the Imperial Theater in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo."

"The deceased was 24-year-old Uesugi Misaki, who was a lighting operator by profession."

"According to the preliminary investigation, Misaki Uesugi died of strangulation. The head showed signs of being beaten with a hard object. At the same time, the mandible and tongue of the deceased were broken. The time of death was approximately 2:30 in the afternoon."

"Eh~ This is really a cruel killing."

When reading this, Kyouji Toda couldn't help but sigh.

"The other victim is named Kyusuke Akikawa, 20 years old and an artist by profession."

"There were no signs of strangulation on Akikawa Kyousuke's body, but there were contusions and lacerations on his forehead caused by being hit with hard objects several times, and he also suffered from subconjunctival hemorrhage and other symptoms."

"According to the description of the victim Akikawa, he was attacked during the third act of the performance in the afternoon, and heard the suspect's voice, confirming that the other person was a male."

"At the same time, Akikawa Kousuke also confirmed that the weapon used by the suspect to attack him was a chair. At the same time, the man was also wearing a medical protective suit and a motorcycle helmet."

"In the afternoon of that day, cleaning staff Masako Sugai went to the laundry room to pick up the laundry, but after discovering the deceased, she screamed, which attracted theater staff and called the police."

"In the end, with the help of detective Kogoro Mouri and high school student detective Masumi Sera, Officer Megure confirmed the time of death, the murder weapon, and the suspect's motive."

"Then the wig used in the crime was found in the bag of the artist Nishihara, and the blood of the deceased was found on the wig. Then the police also found the motorcycle helmet and protective clothing described by the artist Akikawa in the garbage bag of the Imperial Theater... "

"So that's it..."

Kyouji Toda stretched out his hand to touch the neatly trimmed beard on his chin, nodded and sighed.

Then he put down the document that recorded the brief summary of the case, looked at the ugly-looking Nishihara Koichi opposite, and asked with a smile:

"I heard from Mr. Nakajima that Mr. Nishihara does not acknowledge the content recorded here. Do you have any concerns?"

Nishihara Koichi looked at the friendly-looking detective opposite him with cold eyes, and felt a little funny in his heart.

"Are you here to show off your good looks? Do you think that as long as you show kindness, I will just admit my guilt?"

Nishihara Koichi thought in his heart, and then said coldly:

"The facts and records are wrong, and the investigation by your Metropolitan Police detectives is completely different from the facts."

"Then what are the differences?"

"First of all, I didn't kill the person."

"Secondly, I saw with my own eyes the scene where Akikawa strangled Uesugi's neck with a rope. It was not killing someone with a wig at all."

"I haven't seen any wigs. Someone put them in my bag to frame me."

"Well, well, well..."

Kyouji Toda nodded while listening, and then a slightly confused look appeared on his cheeks.

"But according to the above records, Mr. Nishihara, the posture when you identified Akikawa as the murderer does not match the posture of the murderer as determined by the detective through the strangulation marks."

"Secondly, you witnessed the murder scene but did not call the police in time. When all the evidence pointed to you as the murderer, you came out and said that you were framed. Isn't it strange?"

"Well…"

Nishihara Koichi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.

Kyouji Toda looked at his embarrassed look, and then flicked the interrogation table twice with his fingers.

Takuto Nakajima behind him understood, turned off the camera, and then left the interrogation room.

Before leaving the interrogation room, he glanced at Koichi Nishihara with some sympathy, and then gently closed the door.

Koichi Nishihara didn't notice Takuto Nakajima's eyes.

Because at this moment, his attention was attracted by Toda Kyouji’s words——

"Okay, now that the video has been turned off, the conversation between you and me will not be recorded."

"You should have noticed before that this interrogation room is not the kind with one-way glass, so you don't need to worry about our conversation being eavesdropped."

"Why…?"

Koichi Nishihara looked at Kyouji Toda in front of him with some surprise, and he did not understand the other party's intention.

"Because I saw what Nishihara-kun is worried about, so I want to help Nishihara-kun."

Toda Kyouji smiled.

He quietly changed his name to Nishihara Koichi.

"I don't know if Nishihara-kun is aware of Japan's death penalty sentencing rules. If Nishihara-kun you continue to refuse to plead guilty and are handed over to the prosecutor, you will 100% be labeled as 'refuse to plead guilty and have no remorseful attitude' ”

"Although Nishihara-kun only killed one person, if the judge determines that Nishihara-kun has a bad attitude in pleading guilty, you may still be sentenced to death."

After hearing the word "death penalty", Nishihara Koichi's eyes visibly widened.

Even though he has resorted to violence against many people since he was a student.

But after learning that he might be sentenced to death, it was inevitable to feel fear.

"What exactly happened, Nishihara-kun, can you please tell me the truth?"

"I was wrongly accused, you should investigate that Qiuchuan!"

Koichi Nishihara said loudly to Kyouji Toda.

"This is a bit of a headache. Nishihara-kun, you have always insisted that you were wronged, but you have never been able to give a logical and reasonable reason."

"The detectives in Japan are so good. It's hard for me to believe that they will make wrong judgments."

There was a distressed look on Toda Kyouji's face.

"However, I feel that you, Nishihara-kun, are not an idiot. You should not insist on refusing to plead guilty even when I have made the stakes so clear."

"Then I think the reason why you are so persistent, Mr. Nishihara, but still refuse to reveal the truth, is that the content of the truth will still be detrimental to you?"

"For example, what if you really killed someone and were wronged at the same time?"

Kyouji Toda looked at Nishihara Koichi in front of him with soft eyes and said with a smile.

Opposite him, Nishihara Koichi's eyes widened suddenly after hearing his words.
